SACRIFICE....
Every sacrifice has a reward. But certain sacrifices receive instant reward. When such sacrifices hit the altar, the altar must respond to prove that it has power. In l kings 3:4-15, when Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings without a request, that same night while asleep God answered by reason of the sacrifice. Imagine the animals, blood, time and human resource required..Solomon was a wild man, he meant business. God in heaven upon receiving the sacrifice without a request attached considered it an error. Hehehe, goodness. God said (paraphrased) " Solo, your gesture of worship is incomplete, this level of sacrifice requires a request attached." Eiiiiiih. What a shock!!! So even when Solomon requested, God still said" it is not enough son, l will complement the error." May that be your story today!! Amen. The altar needed to respond to show its power, for God is able to do more than you can ask or think. Hence, the need that the altar responds with a miracle though there was no request attached. May God, Jehovah, the I am...respond to our sacrifices this year. As u give, pray, and follow his will, amen. Bless u church. (O. Charles)
